Taunton Deane Bowling Club Ladies have had a very successful run in the Yetton Trophy.

This is a National competition played over twenty one ends with two rinks playing at home and two away.

In the preliminary round the Ladies had a good win over Minehead.

The next rounds produced two very tight finishes, with Taunton Deane beating St Andrews (WSM) by two shots and Taunton by four shots.

The Inter Area final played against Moonfleet 2000 (Weymouth) was a tense affair, however the Taunton Deane Ladies held their nerve to win on three rinks and overall by 80 shots to 61.

This result meant that the Deane Ladies had reached the last 16 in the competition and faced Honiton ladies in the next round.

After ten ends there was only one shot between the two teams and, in an exciting finish, Honiton just managed to ease past Taunton Deane by 5 shots winning 68 to 63.

What an effort from the Taunton Deane side.
